Hon. Joseph W. Byrns, House of Representatives.
My dear Mr. Byrns:
In response to your letter of the 20" instant, I have the honor to advise you, that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Warrant No. 611, for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued July 11, 1791, on account of the Revolutionary War services of Captain Tilman Dixon of the North Carolina Line, to his assignee Abisha Thomas . It does not appear that pension was claimed on account of his services.
There is no further data on file as to said soldier and no data on file as to his family, as the papers in the bounty land claim were destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1800.
For the location of said land you should apply to the Commissioner. of the General Land Office, citing the above data.
Very truly yours,
H.M. Vanderroot
Acting Commissioner.
